Cook Forest State Park

The 8,500-acre Cook Forest State Park lies in scenic northwestern Pennsylvania. Once called the “Black Forest,” the area is famous for its stands of old growth forest. Cook Forest’s “Forest Cathedral” of towering white pines and hemlocks is a National Natural Landmark. The Clarion River connects Clear Creek State Park to Cook Forest State Park along a scenic 10-mile stretch of river which is popular for canoeing and rafting. Cabin and lodge rentals are available as well as campgrounds, offering tent and trailer campsites. Enjoy the beauty of the forest by hiking on one of its 27 marked trails. The terrain features rolling hills and cool valley streams.
